Windshield cracks/chips are becoming a bit of a point on these tech inspections. We've got another member that says she won't be able to run if she's got to replace the windshield before the event.

The truth is, I don't have a good guideline as to what's allowable, and what's dangerous as far as windshield cracks. I was planning on tagging along with the tech inspectors as this weekend's autocross and picking their brains.

The best I can tell you: come to a meet. Matt and I will be able to check out your car and let you know if we'd pass or fail the crack or chip. Chances are, if the crack isn't in the line of sight for the driver, and doesn't compromise the integrity of the windshield, it will pass.
